With internet services suspended in Pakistan-administered Kashmir since 6 June 2026, timely reporting has become increasingly challenging. The Azadi Times is inviting Kashmir-based writers and journalists to join our network of authors and contributors.
During the hearing, Dr. Alvi’s lawyer informed the court that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had blocked the accounts of the former president, his wife, and children as part of an ongoing investigation.
The court observed that the move had caused significant hardship for the family, making it difficult for them to meet their daily expenses. Dr. Alvi’s counsel, who is representing him pro bono, pleaded for relief.
The court has now directed all parties involved to submit their responses by June 5, when the matter will be taken up again.
The development comes amid heightened scrutiny of Dr. Alvi’s affairs, with the former president facing several legal challenges in recent months.
The court will review the responses and determine the next course of action in the case.
